We love Mori Orthodontics! They are patient centered, concerned, caring, and friendly. No matter what our need (broken wire, popped bracket, tight schedule) the staff always address our needs promptly and efficiently. If all medical/dental practices were run like Mori Orthodontics life would be so much better! Unlike our other practitioners, we rarely wait more than 5 minutes to be seen and are in/out efficiently every time. Plus, you always know what treatment occurred and patient expectations until the next appointment.

We just joined the Mori Orthodontics family. His price was reasonable and he treated my daughter with a compassion that I had not seen at any of the other estimates we had gotten. She just had her first appointment after getting her braces on. I got the date mixed up and we didn’t actually have an appointment for that day. The lady at the desk said it was no big deal and to hang on just one second. She left and came back out and said that they could squeeze my daughter in right then. Talk about customer service. I have 3 more kids at home who will all need braces soon and we will be lifelong customers of Dr. Mori. Thank you for going above and beyond when you certainly didn’t have too.
